17 Million Humanists

An Ipsos MORI poll commissioned by the British Humanist Association (BHA) and released today has found that:

36% of Britons (equivalent to 17million people) prefer humanist answers to religious ones on key questions of morality and understanding the universe, with large majorities also preferring individual statements of humanist belief.

‘Religious Groups and Leaders’ tops the list of domestic groups that the British public believe have too much influence on Government, coming second only to ‘Leaders of other countries’.
